HID Magnetic Stripe Reader 644 Installation Guide - Manual (Page 2)

Comparison Number Check
1.
When using the EMPI I or EMPI II encrypted card format,
each user organization, or location is assigned a unique
sequential number called a "Job Code" which is used to
administer that card account and to reorder cards.
2. The "Job Code" is also used to generate a unique,
random, never repeated elsewhere, 16-bit number. For
added security, this number and the card ID number is
encoded on the EMPI Card in an encrypted format. When
the EMPI Card is read, the reader converts this number
into the "Comparison Number".
3. If the host controller accepts 34-bits, enter into host
memory the full 16-bit "Comparison Number" found on the
label of your EMPI Card carton.
4. If the host controller accepts 26-bits, enter into host
memory the 8-bit "Comparison Number" found on the label
of your EMPI Card carton.
Installation Instructions
1. Mount the adapter plate, or the reader base plate to a
suitable flat surface or handy box considering both height
from the floor and the reader card slot angle for user
convenience.
2. The adapter plate is generally used in wall mounting but
can be omitted if space is limited. See FIG 2.
Pigtail Connectorized
Figure 2.
3. When required, use either the adapter plate or base plate
as a template to establish drill hole locations. If using the
#6-32 self-tapping sheet metal screws provided, use a
3/32" diameter drill. If desired, suitable molly fasteners,
etc., (not provided) can be used. Use the center
rectangular hole in the plate as a guide to remove
sufficient material for wire and connector clearance. See
FIG 3.
Pigtail Connectorized
Figure 3.
4. Pull an appropriate length and gauge of 5 or 6-wire
conductor cable between host and reader (or connector).
#22 AWG up to 200 feet
#18 AWG up to 500 feet
5.
Connectorized - Models 6448 and 6449
Connect the wires of the 5-wire cable connector
assembly to the cable end at the reader location.
Connections can be crimped or made with twist-on
wire nuts. Do not plug the connector into the
reader yet.
Pigtail Cable - Models 6444, 6445, 6446 and 6447
Connect the wires of the 6-conductor cable
assembly to the cable end at the reader location.
Connections can be crimped or made with twist-on
wire nuts.
6.
Connect the other end of the cable to the host controller
being sure to follow the appropriate color code and wire
lead functions.
* - Models 6446/6447: The two BLUE wires
connect to the HEATER BAR, which must be
powered by a 24 VAC or 24 ADC source.
Head Track Adjustment
The reader head track location may be changed in the field by
snapping out the head/gimbal assembly, rotating the assembly
180 degrees, and re-installing the assembly in the reader case.

Attaching Reader to Base Plate
1. On Models 6448 and 6449 only, plug the cable connector
assembly into the back of the reader (the plug is designed
to fit only one way). On all other models, the cable should
already be connected.
2.
Align the two protruding retainer pins in the underside of
the reader assembly with the corresponding holes in the
reader base plate. FIG 4.
Figure 4
3. Fully insert these pins into base plate holes and gently
slide the reader assembly in the direction of the base plate
latch (approximately 1/4" or 6.35 mm) until the latch locks
against the latch release stop.
Releasing Reader from Base Plate
1.
To release the reader assembly from the reader base
plate, insert the latch release tool into the reader assembly
release slot, making sure the tip of the tool rides on top of
the latch. When fully inserted, the tip of the tool will
depress the latch sufficiently to clear the release stop.
FIG 5.
Figure 5.
2. While holding the release tool in this position, slide the
reader assembly forward (approximately 1/4" or 6.35 mm)
and lift the reader off its base.
3.
Disconnect (or unplug) the cable connector assembly from
the back of the reader.
Options
Reader options are selected by a 16 position rotary switch
located at the top of the reader circuit board.
NOTE: For Model 644-S, Custom proms have a custom ABA
format and may not follow the table below.
The options control the card type accepted (ABA or EMPI) as
well as the output format.

CAUTION
Before touching any internal reader parts, touch a
grounded surface to discharge static electricity from your body.
Self Test
On power-up, the reader does a self test sequence. Observe
that the reader LED flashes green four times.
If the reader does not complete self test or continues with
short double flashes, verify wire connections and voltage.
If the reader completes the self-test by flashing the LED but will
not read cards the following steps apply:
1. Check that the voltage at the red and black
wires is between 3.2 and 5.5 volts DC.
2. Read card for the proper format as selected.
The LED should wink dark momentarily.
3. Try another card.

Diagnostic Test
1. The Model 644 Pass-Through Card Reader is factory
calibrated and not field serviceable.
2. Direct substitution with a known good reader is the best
way to isolate the problem.
3. Measure the voltage drop at the reader between the RED
(Positive) and the BLACK (Common) wire. It should
measure between 3.2 and 5.5 VDC. Low voltage is a
common source of problems.
4. Verify that the card used to test is a known good card, and
is authorized in host memory. Verify the reader options
are set correctly for that particular host, and the proper site
code has been recorded in host memory.
5. Verify the wiring, continuity, and connections between
reader and host. If possible, switch the reader input wiring
at the host to another known good input terminal and
retest.
6. If the problem still can not be resolved, contact your HID
Authorized dealer for assistance.
